Kynthia Origin and Meaning

The name Kynthia is a girl's name of Greek origin.

Kynthia is an alternative spelling of Cynthia, a name with ancient Greek origins. The name derives from Mount Kynthos on the island of Delos, birthplace of the goddess Artemis (Diana in Roman mythology), who was sometimes called Kynthia as a reference to her birthplace. This spelling variation with a 'K' gives the classic name a more distinctive and uncommon appearance while maintaining its elegant sound and rich mythological heritage. Kynthia carries connotations of moon goddess energy, as Artemis was associated with the moon. While not as common as the traditional spelling, Kynthia offers a unique twist on a timeless feminine name with deep historical roots.
